Questions?
Frequently asked.
Pricing, plans, refunds, WordPress requirements, integrations, the launch coupon — short answers to the questions that come up most.
Do I have to buy add-ons for file uploads, webhooks or Mailchimp?
No. Every premium feature — file uploads, webhooks, Mailchimp, MailerPress, Emailit, submission limits, logged-in forms, data management — is bundled with your purchase. One price, everything included.
How many sites can I use it on?
Unlimited. Both the Yearly and the Lifetime plan cover every personal and client site, with no per-site activation count.
What’s the difference between Yearly and Lifetime?
Both plans give you the exact same plugin, every premium feature, every integration, and unlimited sites. Yearly ($59/year) renews annually and is the lower-friction way to start. Lifetime ($249 one-time) is a single payment, every update forever, no renewals — it pays for itself after about four years vs. Yearly. Pick whichever fits your cashflow.
Is there a discount?
Yes — use code CFLAUNCH at checkout for 20% off either plan. That brings Yearly to $47/year and Lifetime to $199 once.
What’s your refund policy?
14 days, no questions asked. If Core Forms isn’t the right fit, email us and we’ll refund you — no forms to fill out.
Can my forms take payments?
Yes. Connect Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay or Polar.sh once under Settings → Payments, then flip a per-form toggle. Submissions stay in <em>pending payment</em> until the gateway’s webhook confirms — only then do email and integration actions fire. Six payment-ready starting points (one-time, donation, subscription, event ticket, FluentCart product, INR Razorpay) ship in the box.
Does Core Forms work with FluentCart?
Yes — Core Forms hands form submissions off to FluentCart’s checkout for any product variation, free or Pro, one-time or subscription. Address fields collected on the form prefill the FluentCart checkout (and feed its tax engine), and paid orders flip the submission to <em>paid</em> automatically through fluent_cart/order_paid_done.
Can I use Core Forms on Astro, Next.js or a non-WordPress site?
Yes. Set a site-wide API key under Settings → Headless, flip the per-form Headless toggle, and copy a snippet — drop-in vanilla JS widget, native fetch, or cURL. The form renders on your headless front-end and submissions run through the same validation, captcha and action loop server-side in WordPress.
What version is Core Forms on right now?
Core Forms 4.3.6 (June 6, 2026) is the latest release — an accessibility-by-default pass. Every form control now has a 44px touch-target floor (WCAG 2.5.5 AAA), the keyboard-focus ring is Windows High Contrast Mode-safe, textareas default to 5 lines instead of the browser's stingy 2, and both form and poll stylesheets now print at the bottom of <head> so they cascade cleanly over the host theme without !important. 4.3.5 (same day) removed a legacy pre-4.0 block script that was hijacking the Gutenberg editor on every site. 4.3.4 added request-scoped memoisation for cf_get_form() and the submission counts that drive the forms list table, plus a / and s keyboard shortcut on the list page. 4.3.3 (June 5) self-healed a missing submission_replies table and made "Not Spam" replay the action loop everywhere. The 4.3 line shipped the polls rework, three third-party form importers (Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms) and conditional per-recipient emails. 4.2 added WhatsApp (three ways), Contact Form 7 migration, per-form analytics, form versioning, and a 14-finding security audit. 4.1 added payments (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Polar, FluentCart) and headless / cross-origin submissions. 4.0 shipped stable on May 1, 2026. Buy once and you get every release after that, forever — full notes on the Changelog page.
What are the WordPress requirements?
WordPress 6.4 or higher and PHP 8.1 or higher. Core Forms is built to be lightweight and is tested on the latest WordPress release.
Does it work with block themes and the site editor?
Yes. Core Forms ships a native Gutenberg block, works anywhere shortcodes are allowed, and plays nicely with FSE, Bricks, GenerateBlocks and classic themes.
